Idea Request: Iron Marble
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 11:49:28 +0000 UTCI (Jelle) am thinking about a new event to replace the Marble Survival and I already have a name idea for the event: Iron Marble. This event can be a tournament style event (like the SMR and ML) with a number of races/events where the winners will get points which will be tallied to determine the champion. The intention is to upload the episodes of Iron Marble in the gaps between the major events like SMR, ML and M1
My plans are:
Each episode (event) contains a number of races/runs, but it can also be one longer race
Both indoor and outdoor runs
Number of runs / races per episode varies depending on track layout
Tracks: I'm planning to reuse the Survival track in one or two episodes including the traps. However, I will also add Hubelino, Gravitrax and more different tracks like the big funnel (longest time wins), or an underwater track. The outdoor runs can be a sand track in Doornse Gat, but also possibilities to make a snow or dirt track.
Scoring system: After each episode, the winning marbles will get episode points. If an episode has multiple runs, then marbles will get race reward points in each run, after the end of the episode, the race reward points will be tallied to determine the episode points.
My intention is to let all 32 ML teams perform at the same time, so in each race/run, 32 individuals will perform. The athletes can be switched after each event to allow all marbles to perform
I'm not planning to use elimination to keep all fans engaged until the end of the tournament, unless a large number of fans are asking for it.
There's no release date yet, I'm planning to do this in near future.

Sounds fun to watch!!!! I especially love having all 32 teams play, it can be a little disappointing not being able to see some of my favorite teams playing. This guarantees all fans of every team will have something to watch!

Sounds great! My son and I have enjoyed the Survival events quite a bit, but he's always devastated when the Snowballs are eliminated! Snow and sand events are always popular at our house.

I would like a Marble Survival like series without a ton of channel clutter, but I feel like the tracks will be very wishy-washy with how you described it. Maybe just focus on the more major events like ML? Also the name Iron Marble doesn't make much sense

I wouldn't mind a one off 'Iron Marble' triathlon...But would rather it not be a whole series like the Survival/League. Like maybe just 3 episodes covering the three legs of the triathlon (So one for 'running' [sand], one for swimming [water], and one for biking [track]). Just a thought
